Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about procedures, anesthesia, and recovery.
[Anesthesia] What tests are done before anesthesia?
Before surgery, basic blood tests are used to check the patient health status, and ultrasound may be added when needed.
Based on the results, we confirm whether surgery can proceed and any precautions, so we can prepare for a safe procedure.
[Anesthesia] I worry about anesthesia side effects. What precautions are in place?
We operate a dual safety system with an anesthesiology specialist and a specialist anesthesia nurse. Thorough pre-anesthesia testing and assessment are done, and during surgery vital signs are checked in dual fashion while the patient face and overall condition are monitored continuously. This helps detect even subtle warning signs early and respond quickly, so we work to minimize the risk of unexpected anesthesia incidents and side effects.
[Principles] Are there side effects with liposuction and fat grafting?
Depending on individual constitution and the treatment area, side effects such as bruising, swelling, and inflammation may occur. Apgujeong TOPLINE Clinic carefully assesses each patient condition and provides personalized care with safety as the top priority. Please follow the pre- and post-operative instructions for a safe recovery.
[Principles] Why do liposuction results differ from person to person?
Because body shape, fat distribution, and skin elasticity vary from person to person. Apgujeong TOPLINE Clinic does not simply remove fat; we plan surgery around each persons physical characteristics and overall body-line balance.
[Principles] What matters most during recovery after liposuction?
dequate rest and proper care after surgery are essential. In early recovery, avoid strenuous exercise or anything that irritates the treated area. To reduce the risk of inflammation and delayed healing, we recommend no alcohol and no smoking for one month before and after surgery. Please follow your medical team guidance based on your individual recovery.
[Principles] Can I continue to receive care and consultation after surgery?
pgujeong TOPLINE Clinic values not only the surgery itself but also the recovery process. We provide recovery guidance and consultation tailored to your condition. If you have questions or discomfort before or after surgery, please contact the clinic and we will assist you.
[HBOT] How long is a session?
Usually about 40 minutes to 1 hour per session.
[HBOT] Is there discomfort during treatment?
You may feel ear fullness like on a plane; swallowing or yawning usually relieves it quickly.
[HBOT] How often should I receive it?
Daily or every other day for the first week after surgery is most effective for recovery.
